Chapter 723: Chapter 723
Rogels muttered "shit" under his breath and urged the people around him to make an emergency call, asking the ambulance to hurry up.
But the place they were in was somewhat remote, and the ambulance couldn’t arrive that quickly!
The paramedic suddenly stood up, "No, we must give a blood transfusion immediately; the bleeding isn’t stopping. What blood type is he? Quick, draw blood on the spot!"
Rogels’s eyes brightened, "Type A, I’m also Type A, use mine, use mine!" Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on noveⅼfire.net
After a while, the ambulance finally arrived and took Sheng Yan onto the vehicle.
On the other side, in Huaxia.
He Jinxia sent several messages in a row but got no response from Sheng Yan, her eyebrows knitting as she felt that something was amiss.
Initially she thought Sheng Yan was in a situation where he couldn’t speak, so she sent a text message, but after waiting for a while, there was still no reply.
He Jinxia furrowed her brows, muttering to herself, "Could it be that he went to shoot a scene?"
Being called suddenly to shoot a scene without even leaving a message?
She also often got called away for shooting while she was chatting in the crew, but there would always be a message before shooting began. Sheng Yan would do the same, but this time, without any message from him, He Jinxia felt increasingly uneasy.
Especially the "bang" sound at the end of the voice message made her feel very uncomfortable, her entire complexion darkening.
Suddenly, the harsh "screech—" of brakes filled her ears, and He Jinxia’s body uncontrollably lurched forward, slamming hard into the soft cushion of the seat in front of her.
With a "bang," it felt as if her ears were torn apart, a ring of tinnitus followed, and her body was tossed around several times.
—She’s had a car accident!
The idea popped into He Jinxia’s mind, and then she fell into unconsciousness.
Half an hour later, in the hospital ward, Luo You, Mrs. He, and Aunt Rui all gathered together somberly, waiting for the medical reports of He Jinxia and Cheng Xiaohua.
Half an hour earlier, Cheng Xiaohua was turning at a road when she collided with a car behind her that was moving forward.
At that time, Cheng Xiaohua had turned on the turn indicator, and seeing a gap on the road, she proceeded to turn.
The vehicles in the first lane saw this and slowed down slightly, but the driver of the car in the front of the second lane was playing with his phone while driving and did not slow down to give way.
Cheng Xiaohua had completed the turn and was cruising in the second lane at a steady speed, while the vehicle behind maintained its previous speed. The two cars’ speeds were mismatched, the front slow and the rear fast, and by the time the driver noticed, the two cars had already collided, resulting in a rear-end accident!
With the impact from the rear, Cheng Xiaohua’s forehead struck the steering wheel, airbags deployed in the car, and He Jinxia in the back seat, who hadn’t buckled her seat belt, also suffered a significant impact.
Luckily she was sitting on the right side of the car, and the driver instinctively turned the wheel upon impact, only scraping the left headlight of the car and not facing the center of the collision directly, which was fortunate.
Soon, the doctor came out with two diagnostic reports.
He said, "The patient Cheng Xiaohua has a minor cerebral contusion and skull hematoma, requiring surgery. It is advised to operate immediately."
"The patient He Jinxia, after undergoing a cranial CT scan, showed no positive changes. There are no organic injuries in the brain, no ruptures or bleeding. The preliminary diagnosis is a slight concussion; she’ll be hospitalized for observation."
Mrs. He sighed in relief upon hearing this, her body nearly giving way, looking like she was about to collapse.
Aunt Rui reacted and quickly supported her.
Luo You asked with a heavy expression, "Is Cheng Xiaohua in critical condition? How risky is the surgery, and can it be arranged for today?"
The doctor replied, "Judging by the size of the shadow, the clot isn’t large, but we still recommend arranging the surgery as soon as possible. We can only make a more specific diagnosis after opening the skull."
At this point, Mrs. He also reacted and hurriedly said, "Arrange it as soon as possible, we will pay the fees, preferably today!"
The doctor nodded at them, "Please go over there to make the payment."
When Luo You returned after making the payment, she saw a strange young man standing next to Mrs. He and Aunt Rui. His eyes were red from crying, and he kept apologizing to Mrs. He.
Mrs. He’s face looked very unpleasant, and she completely ignored him.
Seeing this scene, Luo You realized that this man must be the driver responsible for the accident. Her face darkened, she walked up to him and said:
"Hello, I am He Jinxia’s agent, my name is Luo You. This is a ward, and the patients are resting. Please be quiet. Let’s go somewhere else to talk about compensation issues."
After Luo You and the man left, Aunt Rui received a phone call, her face changing drastically: "What, Sheng Yan was also in an accident?!"
Mrs. He was stunned and became anxious, How could both children be involved in accidents at the same time!
The person on the other end of the phone must have said something, as Aunt Rui was just nodding and agreeing, and soon hung up the phone. She held back the tears in her eyes from falling, turned to Mrs. He and said:
"Sheng Yan was hit by an iron bridge used by the crew during filming and was immediately sent for emergency treatment. They said that at the moment it fell, he used his hand to block, suffering minor injuries to the body and significant blood loss.
He’s been resuscitated, but he’s still unconscious. Ah Fang, I need to rush over to see him."
Mrs. He’s eyes also reddened, sobbing, "Hurry over and take a look, don’t tough it out. If he needs to be transferred to a major hospital, use your husband’s connections. The child’s life is the most important thing!"
Aunt Rui nodded and quickly left in a hurry.
Mrs. He thought of something and chased after her to whisper a few words in her ear. The sadness on Aunt Rui’s face dissipated somewhat, as she nodded heavily.
(The following scene is from the "Irresponsible Special Separate Volume" totaling thirty thousand words, subsequent with the title "Dream of the Garden Shock," which is optional to read and unrelated to the main content. It narrates the story of the two people who, while unconscious, simultaneously travel back to ancient times where Jinxia once lived, and Jinxia’s story of marrying a husband thousands of miles away after being burned by fire.)
"Hey, have you heard?"
"Heard what? Has anything interesting happened recently?"
"You don’t know? The Oiran girl at the neighboring Red Courtyard said she wants to leave and become a Lotus Taoist!"
"My goodness, why would she think of doing that? Becoming a nun means a life of asceticism. Being an Oiran, at least she could live in luxury!"
"Tsk, you’re out of the loop. This Oiran had an accident at a performance two months ago, she was dancing the Jinghong Dance, and the stage accidentally caught fire. She was the last one to come out, covered in smoke from head to toe. Rumor has it she was disfigured!"
In the teahouse, many people gathered together, sipping their tea, discussing the latest gossip.
Someone curiously asked, "Can she even survive that?"
An informed villager said, "When the girl was brought out, she still had a breath in her; the Red Building showed compassion and looked after her. With good soups and medicine, she hung on for two months. Just a few days ago, it seemed there was no hope left, but suddenly the girl woke up and could even speak!
Everyone thought it was her final flicker of life and that she would pass away soon after, but not only did the Oiran make it, she was able to get out of bed and walk within a few days. It’s truly a life defying fate!"
"I get why she’d run off to become a Lotus Taoist now. You say she was burned that badly, she must have been disfigured. Without her beauty, how could she continue as an Oiran?"
Amid the lively discussion, He Jinxia wrapped herself up tightly and, led by her maid, went to meet the Red Building’s reclusive Boss.
